Re: Livecubes

I picked up some of the 20 mm Livecubes from IPP. They're okay but having made a few shapes with them, including Rich Gain's "Three Easy Pieces" (because I had a copy of Neil's next to me at the time), I've found that its really easy to accidentally un-join pieces. Maybe there's a knack in joining t...

Re: Stickman Reproductions

Re: 5th french puzzle meeting

Yeah! I'm looking forward to getting the tweezers out and having a go at this.
I've been tempted by Allan Boardman's puzzles in the past but it's always concerned me that sharp tweezers might damage the wooden pieces - the larger brass pieces here should make it good fun :thumbup:

Re: Hexsticks, plans? angles?

Re: 5th french puzzle meeting

Thanks for the write-up (and pictures) of your puzzle meetup. It seems you had quite a range of puzzles there!
I'm impressed with Maurice's 18-piece mini-burr! The notches must be tiny - I'd love to see a close up of the pieces :crazy:
